I imagine the new HH will have some kind of Modem only mode akin to the Virgin Superhub. The big question is whether there will be any performance difference between that and the standalone setups.

Why would they bother?

Hopefully the third-party router market will quickly product equipment with VDSL modems built in, as they have for ADSL.

However it does leave the ISPs back in the bad-old-days of fault finding - the active Openreach NTE, meant there was a nice demarcation in the end users home. Now its always the CPE that is suspect. (just see the AAISP blogs).

Me also, especially as it has four gigabit wired ports. Ideal for servers, high end desktops and gamers in the same house.

I think they will offer it as an upgrade, at a small cost.

on paper its good, sadly if its a locked down device again that cant allow pings, amongst other limitations it will remain poor.
